well, for one, I was in a depressed/philosophical (bad grades, almost got in 3 fights, etc) mood last night, and so I guess that would explain that. Also, the concept of death fascinates me since human beings are the only creatures on Earth that know that one day they will die, and so few people ever do think about it, thinking "oh, it'll never happen to me" when they hear about a plane crash or drive-by shooting. As this is a martial arts forum I thought that perhaps this would be one of the best places to ask, since isn't budo really about life and death?
